SPONSORED: Introducing the Nextbase Dashcam product range

What is a dashcam?

A dashcam is a small, windscreen-mounted in car camera that records the action in front (and in some cases behind) your car while you’re driving. It can prove to be a motorist’s independent witness when involved in an accident, while also saving motorists money on their insurance.

Nextbase is the UK’s best-selling dashcam manufacturer, according to retail analysts, GfK. Its 402-G is the biggest selling model in its range, but the new (August ’15) 512-G is now giving it a run for its money.

Here’s a run-through of its product range.

iN-Car Cam 512-G

Price: £179.99 Buy now

The most sophisticated dashcam on UK roads. The Full HD 512-G is the only dashcam with a polarised filter that records without any glare or reflection. It also has an exclusive Sony exmor sensor that allows the dashcam to record night time driving in absolute clarity.

Stand-out feature: Its unique polarising filter, making it the best footage of any dashcam.

iN-Car Cam 402-G Professional

The most compact Nextbase dash cam in the range, the 101 Go can record video at 720p with a large F2.0 aperture, four layers of lens glass to provide the crisp footage.

iN-Car CAM DUO

The DUO features two lenses offering all-round protection on the road. The first lens is directed towards the front of the vehicle, while the second camera points rearward with a 50m zoom lens, tracking everything behind as you drive. It’s crammed with all the usual Nextbase features too.

Stand-out feature: Without doubt, the two cameras and ability to watch footage back side-by-side.

The Ride

Insurers now accept quality dashcam footage as part of any claims process, helping motorcyclists prove an accident wasn’t their fault and solving any liability disputes immediately.
